All the hidden Infos, the foreshadowing, hints you might not catch the first time reading. it's delicious !!!
It's my reread and I loved it even more than the first time reading it.
Also some people might say the relationship between Xaden and Vi gets a bit annoying. I can not agree less! Please remind yourself that there are some major secrets going on that both need to keep secret separately, they both are still young adults who are trying to figure out how to make this relationship work WITH all the stuff going on.
It's a lot on their shoulders and while trying to save "the world" they are still human/ young adults that try to work things out between their relationship and their friends while trying to survive and stay alive.
This whole Story has so much character development. The things they need to go through in order to survive the upcoming war (be prepared), it's nothing you just get over with. It actually changes you. The struggles and working through all this shit just feels real to me. It's important to the story to empathize with the characters and understand actions/ feelings etc. Also it's needed for the upcoming plot. The PTSD, the anxiety, the loneliness throughout all of the shit that's happening. I feel like Rebecca Y. captured all of this perfectly. And everyone who thinks this book "could have been a e-mail" :
you need to start looking for all the little secret hints/ interpret und analyse. Start reading between the lines. I swear, my reread opened my eyes to so sooo many hints and foreshadowing. I can't imagine how long it must have taken R.Y to plot all of this so seamlessly !
Just read carefully and let your theories flow your mind. Do not just read it casually. You will miss out on A LOT !!
